Medford Knife & Tool: Premium American-Made Tactical & EDC Knives

Every Medford knife is designed and manufactured 100% in-house at our facility in Phoenix, Arizona. We use premium materials like CPM S35VN and S45VN steel, titanium handles, and an 'overbuilt' philosophy that prioritizes strength and durability above all else. Unlike mass-produced knives, each Medford is hand-assembled, inspected, and tuned by our team — built to be a tool you can depend on for life.

All Medford knives are designed, machined, assembled, and finished at our facility in Phoenix, Arizona, USA. From raw steel and titanium to the finished product — every step happens under one roof. We never outsource manufacturing overseas.

Yes — Medford stands behind every knife with our 'A Knife, For Life' commitment. If your knife ever needs service, our in-house team handles sharpening, refinishing, and repairs. Visit our RMA & Knife Service page to submit a service request.

Medford manufactures a full range of premium knives including folding knives (EDC folders), fixed blade knives for tactical and survival use, and automatic knives. Our lineup spans from everyday carry options like the Slim Midi to heavy-duty tactical tools like the Praetorian and USMC Fighter series.

For everyday carry (EDC), our Slim Midi, Praetorian Scout, and Smooth Criminal offer a balance of compact size and cutting performance. For tactical and military use, the USMC Fighter, USMC Raider, and Praetorian T are built for hard use in demanding conditions. For survival and outdoor work, our fixed blades like the Bonfire and AIO-2 deliver maximum strength. Browse our full collection to compare models.

You can purchase Medford knives directly from medfordknife.com or through our network of authorized dealers across the country. Visit our Authorized Dealers page to find a retailer near you. We always recommend buying from authorized sources to ensure you receive a genuine Medford product with full warranty coverage.

Keep your blade clean and dry after use, apply a light coat of oil to the blade and pivot periodically, and avoid using your knife as a pry bar or screwdriver. For folding knives, keep the pivot and detent area free of debris. If your knife ever needs professional attention — sharpening, refinishing, or repair — our in-house service team is here to help. That's what 'A Knife, For Life' means.
